An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Invasive Plants and the Green Industry

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 2003
AbstractThere are many motivations for introducing plant species to areas outside their native range. Non-native plants can provide food, medicine, shelter, and ecosystem services, as well as aesthetic value. However, some species, such as Norway maple(Acer platanoides), Japanese barberry(Berberis thunbergii), and Oriental bittersweet(Celastrus ...

Development and Validation of a Real-Time PCR for the Molecular Identification of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutinae) Intercepted in Trade

PhytoFrontiers
The false codling moth, Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick), is a polyphagous pest indigenous to most of sub-Saharan Africa. This species is considered to be quarantined throughout much of the world, in part due to its extensive host range and significant

An approach to the development of a national strategy for controlling invasive alien plant species: The case of Parthenium hysterophorus in South Africa

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2016
Invasive alien species require co-ordinated strategic management if negative impacts are to be effectively avoided. Here we describe a strategy for the management of Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) in South Africa. P.

Eco-Finishing of Cotton with Chitosan and Giant Goldenrod (Solidago gigantea Aiton) Aqueous Extract for Development of Antioxidant and UV Protective Textiles

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
Giant goldenrod (S. gigantea Aiton) is considered an invasive weed in Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In this research, the untreated and chitosan-treated cotton fabrics were functionalized with goldenrod inflorescences aqueous extract, at room

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

E‐commerce trade in invasive plants [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2015
Abstract Biological invasions are a major concern in conservation, especially because global transport of species is still increasing rapidly. Conservationists hope to anticipate and thus prevent future invasions by identifying and regulating potentially invasive species through species risk assessments and international trade ...

The impact of biocontrol agents on different chemotypes of Melaleuca quinquenervia, an invasive tree in south Florida

Biological Control
Across its natural and invaded range, Melaleuca quinquenervia, an invasive tree from Australia and Papua New Guinea, produces oils correspondent to two distinct chemotypes.

Seedling Emergence from Seed Banks in Ludwigia hexapetala-Invaded Wetlands: Implications for Restoration

Plants, 2019
Soil seed banks play a critical role in the maintenance of wetland plant communities and contribute to revegetation following disturbances. Analysis of the seed bank can therefore inform restoration planning and management.

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.
